I've never tried to do this sort of thing, but I've been around long enough to see several requests like this. X only really *uses* 2 axes, but there are (or were) some X extensions which make more axes available to applications which wish to use them. I don't remember which they are, but IIRC SGI were involved in some of them. -- Dr. Andrew C.
